Yes, I’m still sick. I woke up in the middle of the night with so much tension in my upper back and shoulders that I thought my body was preparing to pop my aching head off like a champagne cork. After a dose of Dayquil (it’s all I had) I sat reclined on the couch with a heating pad across my shoulders and slept until the sun came up. The headache was gone. Hooray!
Now I’m a little medicine-fogged and prone to frequent throat clearing, but I think I can be functional.
I can’t tell you how frustrating it is to have such a puny immune system. It’s an absolute miracle when I can make it through even one cold weather month without getting sick. Vitamins? I take them daily. Immune-boosting supplements? Useless. I get plenty of sleep, mostly stay away from refined sugar, etc., etc. Nothing helps.
Okay, enough whining. If I don’t stop now, I’ll lose all my readership except my hypochondriac base. Assuming this cold is over in the usual amount of time, I should be better by Monday. Have a lovely weekend!
